The Wrong Projector Screen
Added 2025-07-11 18:11:36 +0000 UTCIt’s the final part of my unintended Home Cinema Projector Quadrilogy. So far we’ve had a review of a new 4K projector, a (Patreon exclusive) video about the rediscovery of an old forgotten screen and the review of a cheap(ish) out of focus projector.
Today it’s a video about my new automatic screen, which might have been an expensive mistake. It certainly made me feel that it's time I lock the credit card away for a while.

I should mention that the thumbnail isn’t posed, it’s a freeze frame from an unused clip.
You’ll likely be very glad to know that I don’t have any more projector related videos planned. Just like my previous video on this same topic, I’ll try to delay it by an extra week and get another unrelated video completed first. We’ll see how that plan worked out later next week.
I hope you’re well, have a good weekend and take care.
UPDATE - I’ve made a couple of tiny edits of things that were annoying me - there’s no difference in content, just tidying up a few bits. The updated version is now the one linked and embedded above.
UPDATE 2 - Uploaded a re-edit with a clearer ALR comparison section
Comments
I’ve just been recording a Patreon update video and I’ve been saying the same thing. Unfortunately I’ll get the usual ‘ignore the comments’ if I leave it in, so tomorrow will be a day of editing out anything that anyone could object to. Leaving me in a state of isolated silent insanity.

2025-07-28 18:29:35 +0000 UTCI am both amused and deeply confused by the number of 'why not just mount it to the ceiling?' or 'project it on the wall' comments on YT, it's boggling. 🤦♀️To quote the film 'Aliens'... "Did IQs just drop sharply while I was away?"
